Canton was amazing this month !!! I just love the Canton First Monday flea market ~
I started taking pictures the first day I was there and then the second day my battery died ~ there was no way that I was going to leave to go buy batteries so I just didn't take any more ~
It kind of was funny this month because it seemed like people just had a BUNCH of certain things ~ Like this picture of hand mixers ~
Or this one of old mantels and beds ~ I would love to have had a spot for each one of those things because this was the place to get them ~
This man had just tables of stuff ~ it was so funny because each little thing you had to ask him the price of ~ I think if I had tables full like that, I would sell it by the jar full or something like that ~ this was the perfect spot to find bangles and baubles galore ~
Can you tell we are in Texas ???
This guy had the most amazing OLD stuff ~ these are old ledgers that dated in the 1910's to 1920's ~ it was fun to look through them at how people used to keep records ~ Now I am kicking myself for not picking up one ~
Well that is all because of the dead camera ~ soooo.....
ta ta for now !

LORI!!!! We were there yesterday. I read through those ledgers; I was amazed at the eggbeaters; and I BOUGHT the antique metal baby bed for a daybed - (Did you see it?!?!? We left it there for hours.) I was mad because we never did make it to the Pavillion because Gary was talking to all of the dealers (his friends). I tugged on his shirt but he just kept talking. All in all, we had a lovely time and I hated that I forgot my camera. Sorry we missed you.
Oh Lori,
I wish I could just fly down there and go to your flea markets. It is so cold here in Pennsylvania, it will be awhile till I can treasure shop at a flea market. I will just dream a little.....
Smiles, Christine
Can I come shop with you? That looked amazing! I would not have been able to pass up those mantles! or the ledgers I am always using vintage paper. I cannot wait til I get to go junking this summer.
I posted a little vignette using some of what I ordered from you! I love it all and will be checking back to see what's new often!
Thank you!

One of these days I am going to make it to Canton - maybe we should have a Bloggin' Gals meet-up there? Fun! Looks so great!
well that all looks wonderful:)
Lori I'm so jealous...I'm having flea withdraw, complete with the shakes and everything! These pictures helped me though, looks like a dream!~xo
Wow I would say that is a Texas style Sale! Those ledgers looked like they would have been full of good stuff.

Lori,
What great pictures.... I know what you mean about passing up some things... but you can't buy it all... although sometimes I wish I could....
Wouldn't that be fun to have a bloggers shopping day. I met several gals that knew me from my blog....

Oh my goodness...what do I say to this my Texas friend?? WELL - I miss home and seeing your photos makes me miss it all the more. I love Canton...Best place to shop!! I have not been in about 4 years, so I bet they have added way more in the Pavillions and Shopping areas....When I come back for a visit this summer, you can bet we'll be spending the weekend knee deep in Canton! (Do you have a Suburban with a U-haul attached?) heehee :) xo Sher
You are so lucky to have the flea markets there. We have one here in the summer on Sundays and it's about 30 miles away. I go a few times a season and I love it, too. Of course, we do have Brimfield, that's 3 times a year. I go when I can get away. I'm looking forward to Spring when they start.
Hi Lori, such treasures! I tagged you...check it out on my spot when you get a moment. =0] xoxo
Hey Lori, Loved your photos of Canton. I am so jealous of the Texas and Ca. people who have all those wonderful flea markets. Are you going to Chicago with the other MMP girls? What fun they will have! ~ Lynn
P.S. You should have gotten one of those ledgers.
WHat a great place Lori & your photos are the best! Wish I could have gone! :) chris
The ledgers...they are calling to me!
